so you get the real cold dry snow, champagne powder, great to ski on if you have about a foot and a half, but if you just have an inch or 1 1/2 inches or so, can't make snow bowls or snowmen. we didn't have enough snow today to go sledding. 24 the current temperature. that's gone up and stablized the last couple hours. once it stops snowing the temperature came up a little bit, still cold in the suburbs, though, 19 for gaithersburg, dulles 21 degrees and manassas 23, culpeper 25, leonardtown 23, across the bay for cambridge still real cold there, temperature of 19. how about the high today, 25 degrees. that's the coldest high temperature we've had since way back to january of 2010. so basically three years since we've had a day this cold for reagan national and dulles 22 and bwi thurgood marshall 22. i'm sure it's been a long time

for that as well but i didn't chase the records on those two locations. 25 for us, cincinnati 27, warmth in the central plains and southern plains. look, though, real cold, fargo 16, international falls 9 degrees and look where the cold stuff is, basically from the northern plains through the great lakes right on down into the southeast here, but things will change this weekend. we'll begin to have some of the warmth come up, not for saturday or for sunday, but by monday, tuesday, wednesday we'll be warmth around here that will actually take us up close to 60 degrees believe it or not. this weekend we're still stuck in the cold, 33 tomorrow with sunshine. there will be a chilly breeze, too. so if you're out tomorrow, keep that in mind. even though we're going to have sunshine and it may look warmer, the wind will get you. 35 on sunday. we'll have a few late day clouds, but it does look like the going to stay dry all

weekend long -- like it's going to stay dry all weekend long. snow is out of here. we have more snow coming from the northwest, but that will stay in the mountains. western side of the mountains will probably see another 4 to 6 inches of upslope snow. then you have clouds in place here. they'll begin to break up a little overnight tonight. then temperatures will drop down to the teens and i think lower 20s here in town. so if we get the clearing skies taking place overnight tonight, numbers will really drop. be careful early tomorrow morning out there. there may be a little ice in places, 25 for a high in gaithersburg tomorrow, wow, 25 frederick, 30 manassas, 32 fredericksburg, about 33 degrees in town and remember, keep in mind it is going to be a little warmer next week and it is going to be breezy for tomorrow and especially tomorrow late morning through the early part of the afternoon. so 33 for a high, probably only going to feel like it's in the 20s most of the day. am mix possible monday morning.

we'll keep a close eye on that. the temperature will be 28 degrees. fox 5 accuweather seven-day forecast shows a warm-up tuesday and wednesday with temperatures close to 60 degrees, but we'll have some showers in the area. so we aren't talking perfect sunshine and temperatures close to 60, just a little unsettled but still nice and warm, a lot warmer than it is now. there's your forecast. enjoy the week. stay warm. lindsay murphy is in with sports, caps trying to win game tonight. were they successful? lindsay. thank you, gary. yes, only four games into the caps season and there is some reason to panic. the team entered tonight's game as the only team in the nhl with no points. after starting 0-3 and with 45 games left a four-game losing skid would not help their postseason chances. we're already talking postseason, but you got to, only 45 games. caps held 2-0 in the 3rd, but

later the caps were on the board with plenty of time left. mike green fires. brodeur got the initial save but the rebound back to green and his wrister is good. tied at 2-2 and head to overtime. michal neuvirth brilliant, 32 saves but with under a minute in overtime, kovalchuk ends this one. of, but at least the capitals get their first point of the season. john wall has been the wizards spark plug lately, the team now 5-3 since his return. it's not wall doing all the work. it's his presence making the team better. john wall did get his first start tonight. the wizards were out and running and he looked great. the signals, reverse lay-ins, two of his 14 points, wizards leading at the half. in the 2nd half watch this sequence. the steal and what looks like an easy lay-in except bradley beal hustling right behind him gets the huge block and even

better he sprints back to the offensive end, spots up and then knocks down the jumper over ridnour. beal had 16 points. wizards win 114-101. tomorrow at 1 p.m. the terrapins travel to duke to take on the top ranked blubbing devils. coach k's kids are coming off a 90-63 loss at miami wednesday night, something mark turgeon is well aware of. >> i think our guys will be excited, no. 1 team in the country. i know they lost last night, but they'll still be no. 1 when we play them. we have a lot of new players that will be excited to play in that be, but more importantly we're coming off our last road game. so i imagine our guys will be more in tuned and ready to go. coming up golf is back and apparently so is tiger woods, his impress suv round at torrey pines -- impressive round at
